Jag är en kvinna 60+ från Skåne, som sytt, broderat och tecknat i hela mitt liv, men nu är det mest quilt som gäller på min fritid.
I´m a woman 60+ from the south of Sweden, who have been busy sewing, embroidering and drawing all my life, but now I have been caught by the quilt bug.

I have sewn a tiny purse this afternoon from a pattern made by Keyka Lou, who sells patterns as pdf files. The purse is tiny 5x4 inches and could be a nice place to have your lipstick or why not some small notions.

I was at a class were we were taught to make fabric elephants. We used an old Danish pattern more than twenty years old, that the teacher in her seventies has used when she made toys to her children. Mother Rose is pregnant and soon she will give birth to a baby elephant. As stuffing I used the filling from a polyester pillow from Ikea , a very cheap and good stuffing.

The instructions in the pattern were very easy to follow including instructive pictures. I have used a design fabric from a Swedish designer for the flap and upholstry fabric for the rest of the bag. I´m very satisfied with the result and the bag has several pockets. I should definitely test more of her patterns.
